fantastic accuracy 40S&W handload

I just returned from the range where I shot my first 40S&W handloads. I loaded 155gr copper jacketed West Coast bullets on top of 5.8gr of W231, with OAL of 1.125. At 15yds from a rest I was getting 1 1/2" groups. I've been reloading 45acp for a short time, but this is the first time for 4oS&W and it was so nice. Oh yea, I was shooting a Browning HP, what a terrific gun. I just had to come home and post this. Thanks to all for all the help. Rod Black
